The Birth of Baha’u’llah
in Explore > CalendarMirza Husayn-Ali, who is known to the world by His title, Baha’u’llah, was born in Tehran, Iran on 12 November, 1817. Baha’u’llah means “Glory of God” in Arabic and He is the Prophet-Founder of the Baha’i Faith. The anniversary of the day He was born is celebrated alongside the Birth of the forerunner of His Revelation, the Bab. These Twin Holy Days are celebrated annually as one festival where the closely interwoven missions of these two Divine Luminaries are remembered together.
Please give an example or two of how the exhibit or display allowed for sense interaction on a topic as weighty as detailed as early Baha’i history. So the primary senses were NOT sight and hearing (in which case the exhibition would have been described as an audiovisual interactive display), but instead invited the use of the other 3 senses of touch, taste, and smell. This is a bit hard to imagine. The smell of ocean spray? The taste of nan or other foods from that time? The touch of woven cloaks? Please describe it in a bit more details. Tak!

Sorry about the former comment. My browser did not show the embedded video, but now it is showing it and I can see a bit of how people interacted.
Btw, how many *play stations* were there? Was there a program that listed them? Could someone post the program online?
Tak! (thanks in Swedish)

This is a fabulous idea and the video caught the atmosphere and spirit. I’d like to know what the pears on the board were about.
Brilliant
